'Tried and trusted' is exactly why we're going down. Players, managers, formations all went to shit when we went for 'tried and trusted'. Got Bolton up, kept them up, improved the league positions of most clubs he's been at and never been relegated, he is tried and trusted (unless you offer him a vase full of ale and start talking money) perfect fit for stoke all round imo, would he drop down a division ? suppose it all comes down to money. He got relegated with Notts County-though he only had 1/2 a season to save them,so obviously he can't be blamed for that can he?

Down at around 74% for those wanting him gone, astonishing, I'd have thought it'd be 94% at least. I sense the hand of the unwashed of Burslem trying to manipulate it To be fair, we'd do the same. I suppose all eight of them with internet access could be using multiple devices.

He is not on the list, but I'd like to see Chris Hughton given the chance to manage us. Cheers GB Why would he leave Brighton?

Nigel Clough anyone? Or, throw a shed load of cash at Benitez. He got Newcastle straight back up, and on a shoestring of a budget. D.

I just voted for two.
My first choice would be Allardyce and my second Jokanovic, both highly unlikely but they are the two stand out candidates on the list by some distance I feel.

...if Lambert is sacked.... NEW MANAGER POLL(I've reset the poll so you can vote for up to 4 names and addes a few other managers that people suggested) How about the braying mob actually get to choose the next manager for once ?

I suspect he wouldn't leave Brighton, but I'd still make him an offer to try and get him to come and manage us. It's all down to how serious our owners might be about wanting to get us back into the Premier League. Most of the names mentioned are totally uninspiring and we need someone that can get us promoted as soon as possible. I know that we won't go for him but I feel that he'd get us back sooner than some of the other names mentioned. Cheers GB

I have read so many posters calling for the manager's head. Well come on all who would come. The cue for the job was not very long back in January so who thinks it will be longer this time. Give Lambert a chance we gave TP the chance and see what happened. CTID.

We’ll be a reasonably big fish in the Championship with a decent sized budget, we’re an attractive proposition to loads of managers.

I think it's got to the point where anyone else is a better choice.
As manager for Stoke he's been our worst in 20-25 years and his last 5 years of employment he's failed at both premiership and championship levels. Therefore pretty much any championship manager would be better than him straight away. My personal choice would be Potter, who whilst he doesn't have Championship experience, he has demonstrated an ability to get the most out of a unit of players playing various styles of football. He is also, someone who I feel could work with our big failures and get them working again, a real man manager - for me Lambert's biggest failing.

He's had his chance and was far worse than Hughes so bye bye.
We need a fresh start with fresh ideas. The age of the dinosaur is OVER or at least I pray it is and what's more we have paid a HEVY HEAVY price for it one we may never recover from.
I can't understand how people can look at performace data and defend his tenure.
"Despite the disappointment of overseeing a 13th league match without a win -- Stoke's worst top-flight sequence in 34 years "
How bad a run of results does it take to open people eyes to the truth?

We need the board to think creatively and consider the type of manager it wants first. If it wants to play safe with a reserved and understated approach then another dinosaur from Britain beckons. However, if it wants to completely change the image and direction of the club with pace, power and technical ability it may look abroad or look at a British coach abroad. We all know what Coates will go for....bring on the dinosaurs.😞😞

On the point made, Pulis hadn't just taken us down with one win in 15. Might as well make the argument that you give my Mum a chance. She has only won one game less over the same period.

He had the sort of chance that he could only dream of and blew it There are dozens of better alternatives - take a look at the manager poll thread for at least 10

I don't think anyone really knows the contract situation between Lambert and Stoke City FC. I've heard that he's on a 6 month contract with a view to it being extended if he kept the Club in the Prem. Then I read, on here I think, that he has a straight 2 and a half year contract. The thing is, I don't ever recall the board ever acting quickly where the manager situation is concerned. If, and in my opinion, it's a big if, he does indeed get rid of Lambert should we lose against the Swans then the managerial position will be very attractive I would've thought, especially if a new incumbent has a whole Summer to build a replacement team for the one that has let us all down. My answer to the OP would be, I don't know who I would go for, but I would give Potter a once over. With what he's done abroad he could be, just could be, a decent acquisition.

I thought it was two and half years yet just heard on the radio that his contract is up. (Please be true).

dirtygary69 Avatar May 7, 2018 21:04:50 GMT 1 dirtygary69 said: If it’s simply a case of trying to get back up at the first attempt then it has to be Allardyce, should the opportunity present itself. He’s not perfect and it might be a return to simple and unspectacular football but he knows the league inside out and knows how to get results. The downside to it is that he’d be shortsighted appointment and safe option, which is why we are where we are today.
If not, I’d like to see us revisit QSF given he’s lost his job and we might need someone to come and start a project here. I think someone like him would give the support a lift and is a little more unpredictable. However I don’t know if bridges were burnt.
After that, I’ve gone Pearson and Bilic. Pearson is mad and the PL is probably out of his reach at this time so a job like Stoke would be good for him. I like Bilic and think he maybe fell victim to the batshit mental West Ham machine whilst also letting himself down a little. I don’t know if he’d have the right knowledge to know what’s required down in the Championship but wouldn’t be against giving him a go.
Has there been any more talk on Lambert going based on this thread being created? Or is just fanciful in the hope we do get shot of Lambert? Can anybody really tell me they’d be excited at the prospect of Lambert leading us out in August? I think that’s the thing I dread most, he’s so clearly useless.
